To boost your news i. Have seen the viral video of a black man in Baton Rouge Louisiana calling out of School Board Member for ignoring calls to change the name of the robert e. Lee high school in his town listen to what he said. So i had intended to get up here and talk about our race is robert e. Lee what im a talk about your cat should never shop and while we talk about robert e. Lee bush a picture you shop at robby talking about racism in history of his country only white members it is going to got a problem with you talking to because you dont give a damn and its clear but im a tell you go to slaves my ancestors say it about robert e. Lee so if you dont know history system let me tell you that they said when he got the plantation after he got off the field with 27000 people die and get his hurt. Rabbit he was a brutal slave master not only did when he walked the slaves he said lay it on him hall after he said lean on him hard he said joe as a good self in here and sit on that shopping while the hate and the hurt of the people of this community is on display but you dont give a damn and you should resign you should have resigned 2 years ago when you took the white man in his house you should have resigned 2 weeks ago when you got on t. V. And say foolishness and you said well come out of here and resign and never come back because you are the example of what it says i mean its community you are horrible. Altschul that was mr gary chambers jr speaking to that school board about 2 weeks ago and as a today that member conny bernard may be out of a job so rick sanchez is joining us to expand a little further on this story and and of course you know the plight of a lot of places across this country who are asking the schools to be renamed so record what do we know about this mr gary chambers. So interesting situation based on the fact that sometimes the most unassuming person this gentleman looks like he just. The office for his case probably at work is where he t. Shirt is wearing illustrated very jeans hes showing up because. People listen to people who are citizens with concerns all the time but it is ability to articulate the pain the anger the sense that no one is listening to us that many people have not been able to do think about this milligan have been covering this now for what is going on 34 weeks of people essentially protesting on the streets riots confrontations with Police Officers theres been so much that weve seen but rarely do we see someone standing front of a body and just simply say look we tried talking to you we tried explaining this to you weve tried telling you about our history weve tried telling you of this is so painful for us and you have a listen so now you want to listen we dont want to go in the streets and protest we dont want to knock things down or destroy property but it seems to be the only way that you respond so this man stands up and says youre going to build it in our community were 81 percent of the community is africanamerican a high school and name it after a confederate general think about what youre doing and maybe he points out that this one woman that you mention in this in this column by the artist played it right or not its sitting there shopping online yeah this is your head is explaining how angry and other citizens are as well so it i think with this with this goes to there is this conversation that we need to have its about a state like louisiana which is one of the poorest in the entire country that are not on one of the lowest in education i think it wrecks 49 percent. And yet so here are many africanamericans saying in our community where we live many of florida folks who happen to be for the most part not africanamerican now doing very well and the middle class and doing badly but then you have us a little bit this is what this is what. Weve heard interviews but their Community Every single street is named after a confederate general who. Is called are you ready for this number one more. White. Maybe thats a very unfortunate naming rick but i mean. We what do we know about this conning bernard woman. When shes that School Board Member she was shopping online so disrespectful as this man this parent because its not like random people go to the money School Board Meetings i mean clearly that man somebody whose parent that has to hes africanamerican has to drop his kid off at school at robert e. Lee high school hes there calling for a name change this woman shopping does she still have a job. Yes you still there shes apologized she said she was terribly sorry for what you did and i took her for at her word because i have been the same thing in my job from guards are because there are there are available every once in a while you go over it maybe if they get the picture at an inopportune time ill give her the benefit of the doubt so were going to be missed probably this hour we have to start having real conversations where we listen a lot of these things its just not explained i have a shit im certain my perspective perhaps my good story is a cuban american as an especially american somebody that will show what im going to show and he just started i didnt know that all the streets in his town were named that he had generals nobody or you would have even when somebody articulates these things and d you start to understand the need whatever it is that their pain comes from and these are the kind of moments that i think we need to sure hope so we d can better understand each other exactly and thats the beauty of what we want you and i draw to do everything we can just why its a letter that was we get to listen to people thats a beautiful thing rick sanchez thank you so much for calling this to our attention to highlight this this kind of heartwarming heart with a touching story thank you so much. Now over to selma alabama where there is a growing demand to change the name of a bridge where so many africanamericans clashed with police back in 1065 during the height of the Civil Rights Movement that day is known as bloody sunday of course some residents have thrown out the idea of renaming the Edmund Pettus bridge after the late congressman john lewis who was beaten on bloody sunday but interestingly enough many africanamericans of that town are against the idea. And then over to florida where a sheriff is threatening to authorize armed civilians to use their weapons against protesters Darrell Daniels clay countys 1st black sheriff posted his message in a 3 minute video on facebook standing beside him were several deputies as he made that declaration listen here. If we can help you you know what ill do. The power and authority of the sheriff and ill make special deputies a. Little for good old in this county. For this one port.

And the San Francisco Police Department has made a drastic change in their mugshot policy aiming to put a stop to racial stereotypes r t correspondent suite has more on the sudden move and how the Police Department hopes to bring real change to the community. When a suspect is a arrested their mug shots can sometimes live on the internet forever and according to the San Francisco Police Department that can bring about racial stereotypes and so now in the bay area mug shots will no longer be circulating through the media and less than half back his behavior. By no more booking photos will be released from the San Francisco Police Department Effective Immediately that is unless a suspect is considered to be dangerous according to police chief bill scott these mug shots are made public whether or not the person is prosecuted for the alleged crime scott says this alone can perpetuate stereotypes that you see black and brown men all the time who are you see these mug shots either on television through the movies you name that media source and the mind begins to associate that group with it and theres a lot of science out there scott believes not releasing these photos to the media or allowing officers to post them online will better our Justice System as a whole as people are supposed to be considered innocent until Proven Guilty directly nowadays were it can be on the internet who are ever. Oftentimes or sometimes anyway people never convicted of those crimes could have lasting. Prospects here with employment you know not another opportunity minas the larnell president of crime victims united says while she supports efforts to curb racism she would like more clarification on how the new policy will be implemented the only concern from the victims side of it is how are they categorizing and who is deciding which ones should be released to the public what is the rights youre he and i they can have a uniform criteria or just Somebody Just decide scot consultant jack lazar a Public Policy professor at u. C. Berkeley who researches racial stereotyping according to glaser data reveals prosecutors are more likely to dismiss cases of black people who are arrested get their mug shots are imbedded online. Many times on websites that charge in order to take photos down scott believes this contributes to what he calls an unfair association between minorities and crime if the suspect is deemed as a threat or police need assistance then photos may be released but per the new policy it must be approved by the Police Departments Public Relations team reporting in los angeles the poshest sweets authority.

To turn your brain off to relax i want you to watch t. V. To turn your brain on im rick sanchez. Its time. To do. A bipartisan bill introduced by a republican senator rand paul and democrat senator tom udall moving to finally end the nearly 20 year war in afghanistan was struck down by lawmakers last night overwhelmingly 60 to 33 the paul udall amendment would have also repealed the 2001 a you m. F. That has been used to justify various military action all around the world over in the house the Armed Services committee unanimously 56 to 0 approved a mammoth defense policy bill to give over 740000000000. 00 to the National Defense authorization act as the wars in the middle east continue one young face is seeking to change how we train our soldiers so lets bring in our panel to discuss former pentagon official Michael Maloof is joining us along with investigative journalist and boom bust cohost ben swan so mike i will start with you does this come as any surprise to you that the senate voted down the paul youd all bill to finally end. War. Absolutely not and its been its been used over some 3 dozen times more than 3 dozen times over the years ever since 911. 00 and its basically our license to kill and it anywhere in the world and its been invoked for. Means and purposes well beyond going into afghanistan and i would add that the authorization for the use of force or the a u. N. Methods thats as its called is is has been not only not only that has been used but also the war of the president s authority under the article 2 of the constitution so theyve been used interchangeably over these times to give the u. S. And that authority and wherever you have all qaeda or even any whiff of alqaeda or any group associated with al qaida including isis or taleban then then its going to be then that that is our authorization to go ahead and use it now that the problem that im seeing is that the possible use and application of the a us toward iran and its a stretch to say that they have a link to al qaeda but they do have a link to taliban so this is a problem that i would doubt that the administration will try to win votes if it sees fit to do something in the toward toward iran and whats scary is thats all coming on the heels this vote is coming on the heels of russia gate to point out that thats a little bit frightening than it was a basically a bipartisan approval to keep this who are going then so lets talk about money how much has been sent into afghanistan and how much more stands to go that way. Well so far were talking about dollars were talking about just under one trillion dollars thats trillion with a teeny one trillion dollars now for the war on terror. Or just for the war in afghanistan but theres so much more to it than that because were talking about 20000. 00 plus u. S. Soldiers who have been injured in combat there were talking about 2300. 00 u. S. Soldiers men and women who have died on the combat field of afghanistan and for what manila for the ability for the taliban to be as strong today as they were 18 years ago to have as much control of the country as they did 18 years ago we have sunk in not only treasure and lives but we also have an extended cost Going Forward for taking care of all these men and women who suffer from traumatic brain injuries p. T. S. D. And physical injuries as a result of this war having said all of that you just alluded to it i have to say its amazing to listen to lawmakers right now who are freaking out over this unsubstantiated story that russia is paying for bounties on u. S. Soldiers and when you have the chance to bring those soldiers home from afghanistan you decide to keep them in harms way keep them on a battlefield where more of them will die but at the same time you want some kind of further action against russia because you think they might be harming u. S. Soldiers youre the ones harming u. S. Soldiers right not only are you keeping them there but that to me alludes that maybe theres no real beef to that story but thats a whole different story that we should discuss another time i want to stick with with whats going on here with the math you know its a post 911 math its been continually renewed time after time and used to bomb more than a dozen countries for various reasons like mike mike then you get a whiff of something lets go bomb them mike why does congress criticize trump but then they go on boat to allow american attack on to continue and other countries. Yeah i think the reason is that they dont want to tie the hands of the president and his authority to act in Foreign Policy there are waivers instilled in the in these things and also its been modified the a u. F. A. Has been modified over time through various defense of Defense Authorization bill to give the president even more ringback authority. Have declared one of the 7 dash 40 for example is. A u m f on steroids against the salami in iraq or to go into syria and and as and i think that its they dont want to be able to harm the president otherwise in terms of Foreign Policy and to act otherwise hell be doing that bill yeah and i could just say very quickly they do want to tie the president s hands if the president decides that he wants to in the war or to come home so its very interesting to watch how Congress Acts on all this because with the a with mikes absolutely correct the goal here is to say yeah you can declare war basically unilaterally anywhere in the world that you want and you can declare everything as being essentially war on terror but while were fighting al qaeda in one country were funding them in another country like we did in syria or in libya but the other point is if you are a president who says no its time to come home youre going to see members of both parties and that military Industrial Complex work overtime to tie your hands to to basically smear you attack you and it throw every obstacle in your way to prevent you from actually bringing troops home so the one way they want to tie your hands is to stop that from happening yeah i mean thats why the american way to the president has withdrawn some 8400 troops out of afghanistan now and hes going to continue doing that and and in terms of this latest brouhaha over by. Even the taliban says that they havent done it and. There hasnt been any attacks since we came to an agreement with them against u. S. Troops or have been against iraqi forces and youve got to keep in mind too that when the soviet union occupied afghanistan we were in the mujahideen to kill russian soldiers absolutely mujahideen with stingers well guys lets move the conversation forward to the future weve been talking about this 20 year history there the future is a guy named lucky palmer he is only now 27 years old he was the inventor of oculus rift v. R. Goggles he made a ton of money off of that when facebook bought them he sat on facebooks board until facebook discovered he was a trump supporter and then they pushed him out so now palmer has launched this Company Called and a role its a start up geared towards Defense Technology so given this guys really impressive tech mack brown he stands to really reshape the future of warfare and troop training so mike what do you think about the direction of the d. O. D. When it comes to tech. Well there theyre trying to do more and more with Silicon Valley even during the Obama Administration and there was an effort to do that have much more much closer collaboration between the Defense Department darpas research arm with Silicon Valley and were seeing that now more and more and and that isnt to say that the darker isnt going to go ahead and create its own industries has been off and thats a possibility but the type of technology that he is. Creating has to do with drones and we are really behind in trying to deal with drones and drones that are launched in swarms fashion that may be armed and be able to detect through sensors the ability of which ones are our arms and which ones are not but give me a quick last word on this yeah just very quickly you know the drones have been a huge problem for the u. S. Military because while were always told how successful they are we know that they have a miss rate there are a lot of innocent people and civilians who die as a result of them theres also another price to be paid by soldiers who are the ones deploying those drones theres an enormous cost in terms of p. T. S. D. And the way that they are unable to deal with this when youre taking human lives you cant just treat it like its a video game its far deeper than that i will leave it right there and swan mike maloof appreciate your input. Its been all. Over now to new delhi india where a plasma bank has been launched for the treatment of coded 1000 patients patients who have recovered from the virus are asked to donate the plasma india is now the 4th country with the most confirmed cases with over 600000 arriving.

We have. Everybody. I mean i dont have much confidence. Were we not premier everybody. Really dangerous. Over in the cave you know extra innings were needed for the 8 plates katie wears and the l. G. Twins with the wiz looking for a much needed road when we is off to a good start up the 1st solo home or center field by right fielder 6 mel white house to your sunday the season katies start scoring one nothing on top of 2nd outfitter you who with his own solo home run to the left field dances get the seasoning katie they too and nothing that lead and twins bats get heated bones at 2nd base and young but the 2 run say go left center that will bring home a Roberto Ramos to even everything up at 2 runs apiece but later in the inning runners on a 2nd and 3rd center fielder. With a ground out to 2nd young to move comes over on the play beating the tag to give a 283 to 2. 00 lead free my side there is though they come back in the top of the 8 and the scarier you have you the r. B. I. Single to left field brought us to your will come on home and of both teams will equalize everything at 3 runs which means we have an extra base ball top of the 10th with catcher johnson with an r. B. I. Single clear that had a chance pitcher lands on a field enough time for moon central to score from 2nd with the 43 lead and 5 in the inning 2 outs trained for can hang on punch and deal with this ground or shortstop for the final out katie earns a 43 road but still so its 11 and a half games back of the leaders.
